Alton Towers Resort has revealed first-look images of two new attractions.

Ahead of the park opening for 2019 on Saturday 23rd March details of the new Alton Towers Dungeon and brand new Stargazing Pods have been released.

The Alton Towers Dungeons is a hilariously hideous journey through Staffordshire’s darkest history and is the sixth Dungeon to open in the UK. Guests will be screaming with laughter whilst being sentenced by the Bishop of Stafford, surviving the plague, enduring the Torturer and also making a stop at the Witch of Burslem’s haunted cottage.

The Alton Towers Dungeon took six months to deliver with the help of 200 people working on the set-up. Twenty three actors have been recruited to work an average of 240 shows per day, with 12 smell pods used throughout the attraction and 100km of cabling laid for special effects.

Early pictures reveal three key characters from the Alton Towers Dungeon Judge, The Gatekeeper and The Torturer as well as the spooky entrance guests will take before experiencing five shows based on the UK’s most controversial deviants, aimed to tantalise and terrify each of your senses.

Some 102 Stargazing Pods will also be opening ahead of the Easter holidays, offering families the chance to spend more time outdoors and experience a unique overnight stay on the doorstep of the Alton Towers Resort.

Each of the pods made from sustainably sourced timer is complete with a telescope – encouraging guests to look up and gaze at the magic of the night sky.

Tickets to enter the park can be purchased at www.altontowers.com. New for 2019 is the Premium Season Pass. For just £70, the Premium Pass offers the same benefits as the Season Pass without restrictions on peak Summer dates and during Scarefest. It also includes entry to the new Alton Towers Dungeon, making it the best value way to enjoy the Power of the Towers in 2019.
